It's a hello world app created with Golang in Docker container.
Why this is created: It's meant to provide a bare minimum exmaple of how to create a Golang application in a Docker container environment. It has both a Dockerfile and a docker-compose.yml file to demo how to create them.
How to try it:
- Clone the repo locally.
- Make sure you have Docker installed. https://docs.docker.com/install/
- Run "docker-compose up", then the http server will be running at "localhost:3001".
- Open your browser and go to "localhost:3001", "Hello world" should be printed.
